Prayer For A Baby

Lord, we stand before You to seek the gift of children. As the One who knows the future, present, and past, we understand Your time is the best. But You said unto us, Seek, and we shall find. Now, we're ready to bring another life into this world, so we pray that You give us this miracle. Thank You for Your blessing, and In Jesus' Name, Amen.


El-Shaddai, we stand before You with a prayer for our unborn baby. Pending the time our little angel arrives into this world, we ask that You grant him/her good health and his/her mother, a safe delivery. Cover both of them with Your divine protection throughout this period. Thank You, Lord, for the miracle that our baby is, and In Jesus' Name, I pray, Amen.


Father, we pray before You seeking protection for our baby. You gave us this little one for a reason, so we know You have a plan for him/her. Oh Lord, we pray for our baby's protection and proper parenting to teach him/her lessons that apply for a lifetime. Thank You for listening to our prayers, God, and In Jesus' Name, Amen.


Firstly, congratulations on having a baby or deciding to make one. Having a baby is perhaps the most important milestone every couple can hit in their relationship. They represent the next generation, and in a sense, they're the Kings and Queens of our world. And as royalty, they need all the help they can get in fulfilling God's unique design for them. This page focuses on prayers for your baby boy or girl (including twins). From a prayer for pregnancy blessing to others about protection and peace for both the baby and mother, they intend to safeguard God's new gift.


May all the blessing of our Lord touch your life today.
May He send His little angels to protect you on your way.
Such a wee little fit, sent from above.
Someone so precious to cherish and love.
May sunshine and moonbeams dance over your head
As you quietly slumber in your bed.
May good luck be with you wherever you go.
And your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow.


I am now in the Sweet Presence of God. I am at one with all creation; I sit in the spirit and the nearness of the God of my Being. In this state of peace I know my true being.

An amazing miracle of creation has occurred in my life: my child was born. This experience has been humbling yet empowering. I am awed with the wonder of this new being that is in the world because of me. I am in a state of grace knowing the incredible co-creative power I have with God, right here, right now.

Bless this child. Bless their health, their heart and their soul. They come into this experience we call life so new, so fresh and so pure. May I be everything to them that they need to have a full and complete journey. May I understand that they have their journey and I have mine as a parent. We are to each other teacher and pupil, pupil and teacher. I will learn as much from them as I teach them.

Lead me in the path of knowledge with my child. Light our way together. Keep us protected and divinely guided in all matters and at all times. May we always feel the presence of God in our lives and may we be blessed.

Help us both to enjoy these early childhood years together. Give me patience and wisdom to do the right things and to do things rightly. May we be happy and full of joy as we spend our days. Bless us richly with health, happiness and laughter.

I am deeply grateful for this child and for all that this child represents in my life. My experience of life and my contribution to the world is changed forever and I am grateful. Thank you, God.


You have chosen this day as the day my baby will be born. Thank you for bringing me to this point in time and for your perfect plan for the hours ahead.

Lord, I praise you for loving me and my baby. Each moment ahead of us is being cradled in Your good hands. May I not forget that.

Help me to not be anxious. Remove from me a heart of fear and replace it with Your peace that passes all understanding! Hold my hand and lead me.

Please allow me to have endurance that comes from you, and keep me safe. Watch over my baby and allow him/her to be born under the best of circumstances.

May Your will be done, Lord. Give me a sense of calm and purpose as I go through labor and delivery.

I know that physical pain can overwhelm me. Help me to cling to You and look forward to the joy ahead when I see my little baby for the first time.

Give skill and wisdom to the doctors, nurses, and staff that will be taking care of me today. Allow them to be kind and helpful and enable me and my family members to bless them too.

Thank you for this new life that you have knit together in my womb so perfectly. Whatever happens, I know that we are all fearfully and wonderfully made. May I feel your presence today in new and excellent ways. I know that You never leave me or forsake me.

I give this baby to You. May my son/daughter grow up to follow You all the days of his/her life and guide me with wisdom as his/her mother from this first moment on.


Heavenly Father, how we praise and thank You for the precious little lives of all new-born babies, little toddlers and young children, knowing that each one is special to You and was known in Your heart, even before conception.
Thank You, that You have scheduled every day of each little life, and we praise and thank You for the special plans and purposes You have for every single new-born child, for all babies and infants.
We pray Your loving protection over all babies and their families and pray that many may be brought up to know the Lord Jesus as their Saviour. Give parents and grandparents and all those that are in any way connected with young babies, the wisdom and grace to care for them in a loving and secure environment.
Guard and protect, guide and provide for each innocent little baby and protect their the hearts and minds from a society that has grown far from the God Who created them and sent His Son to die, so that they might life. This we ask in Jesus' name,
Amen.
